nowhere. Then one day, armed with buckets of courage and an almost
child-like curiosity, Hector breaks out of his sheltered vacuum of a

dangerous and hysterical journey.

secret from their extended family. But as the inevitable feuds kick in, a
completely unexpected turn of events involving
the children causes further tensions to rise to the surface. And with
the repercussions that ensue - hilarious and emotional in equal measure -
the family are forced to put aside their differences and work together
or else risk losing what they hold most dear.

modern marriage. On the occasion of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick

a coming of age story about a 28-year-old woman stuck in permanent
adolescence. Unable to find her career calling, still hanging out with
the same friends, and living with her high school boyfriend, Megan must
finally navigate her own future when an unexpected marriage proposal
sends her into a panic.

Based on the real life story of legendary cryptanalyst Alan Turing, the
film portrays the nail-biting race against time by Turing and his
brilliant team of code-breakers at Britain's top-secret Government Code
and Cypher School at Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of World
War II.

The worldwide phenomenon of The Hunger
Games continues to set the world on fire with The Hunger Games:
Mockingjay - Part 1, which finds Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) in
District 13 after she literally shatters the games forever. Under the
leadership of President Coin (Julianne Moore) and the advice of her
trusted friends, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta
(Josh Hutcherson) and a nation moved by her courage.

Based on the top-selling, award-winning video game franchise, "Agent 47"
is an all-new motion picture about an elite and genetically engineered
assassin, known only by the last two digits - 47 - of a barcode tattooed
on the back of his neck. His latest target is a young woman on the run
from powerful and clandestine forces. The mission brings startling
revelations about the lethal agent and his prey, hurtling them on a
collision course with their pasts. And this time, his number may be up.

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is the expansionist dream of Sonny
(Dev Patel), and it's making more claims on his time than he has
available, considering his imminent marriage to the love of his life,
Sunaina (Tina Desai). Sonny has his eye on a promising property now that
his first venture, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and
Beautiful, has only a single remaining vacancy - posing a rooming
predicament for fresh arrivals Guy (Richard Gere) and Lavinia (Tamsin
Greig). Evelyn and Douglas (Judi Dench and Bill Nighy) have now joined
the Jaipur workforce, and are wondering where their regular dates for
Chilla pancakes will lead, while Norman and Carol (Ronald Pickup and
Diana Hardcastle) are negotiating the tricky waters of an exclusive
relationship, as Madge (Celia Imrie) juggles two eligible and very
wealthy suitors. Perhaps the only one who may know the answers is newly
installed co-manager of the hotel, Muriel (Maggie Smith), the keeper of
everyone's secrets.

Far From The Madding Crowd is the story of an independent, beautiful and headstrong woman (Carey Mulligan) who attracts three very different suitors: the stolid Oak; the handsome and reckless Troy; and William Boldwood, a prosperous and mature bachelor.

leading writer in her country and a candidate for the Nobel Prize in

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the most successful film adaptation (I'm talking about the film version released in Theaters/Cinemas not the TV Mini-series version) ofJane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Joe Wright's 2005Pride & Prejudice film (which was nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Actress for its lead star Keira Knightley; 2 Golden Globe including Best Actress nomination for Knightley; and 6 BAFTA nominations including The Carl Foreman Award for Special Achievement by a British Director) has the best ensemble cast. The main cast of P&P movie are incredible and multi-talented. Some of them have been working steady and continued to get recognized on
their own in various stage plays, television and film projects they've
done since their P&P movie was released a decade ago this month.
